Packaging represents, by itself, half of the volume of our trash and that is, for each European, 261 kilograms per year. Moreover, trash management becomes more and more costly.
We can reduce our package volume, recycle it or use it again, but isn’t the packaging of the future a packaging which creates more value?
Packaging is designed to transport, to protect, to attract and inform the consumer, but wouldn’t it be clever to foresee its second life from its conception?
That why we propose today to reflect on this challenge:
What kind of smart packaging is for tomorrow?
To pool one, two, three ideas, all you need to do is click on the Comments button at the bottom of the page and there you go!
